Isn’t that just the way of it though?

Weekend to-do list: 15 items. Completed: just 3.
Planned a Year 13 chemistry lesson on aldehydes, a GCSE astronomy lesson on Earth’s interior, and rescued my canoe from my old school. That is it. 😬

Does anybody have a photo of chemist Gladys Elsmie - who worked with Brady to develop Brady’s reagent? She has the same name as Elvis Presley’s mother and that’s is all google will give me.

Today’s job. Enroll most of September’s year 9 onto the Bronze @dofe.org award.

Thankfully this year, I am a bit ahead of myself as I asked them who wanted to join in year 8 - and can now process the list.

It does seem like nobody is there on twitter now - not even the people who enjoy telling me I am wrong. The early joy of this place was those people didn’t seem to get the memo.

I don’t think I have kept up to date with the community on here. How is it going? Is conversation thriving here?

Quick question. I am on the second day of a DSL course today. Are you only a DSL when in post as THE DSL or is everyone DSL trained a DSL? Like, imagine you are a pilot, but not flying this plane as THE pilot. Is THE pilot the only pilot and all other pilots not actually pilots? How does it work? ✈️

Next year a new challenge - I will be a housemaster of a Y9 and Y10 boarding house.

But don’t worry, chemistry and physics teaching support will continue!

Almost, but it was the mass of the KHCO3 that shouldn’t have been in an enthalpy of reaction calculation

The only thing that would make that more terrifying is if it made noises like a turkey.

Just cool before it was cool to be cool. Also, fun fact, he lived on Earth when Earth was here in space. Since their time the Sun had made a single two hundred million year trip around the Milky Way.
